MTK6572 - Can't flash after flashing with wrong ROM - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Flashed "ZTE BLADE Q MINI" with an "HUAWEI Y330-U01" firmware (both MT6572) using SP-Flash-Tool –experimenting really went wrong, lol
HUAWEI Y330-U01 Firmware: ****://consumer.huawei.com/uk/support/products/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=23023&pname=Y330-U01&pcode=Y330-U01
ZTE does not provide SP Tool firmware - ****//download.ztedevice.com/UpLoadFiles/product/643/4059/soft/2014011514335184.zip
1. Now, I am unable to see anything on the screen (screen flickers) - only hear Huawei boot sound.
2. The battery is needed for the PC/SP Tool to recognise it (it used to be without the battery).
3. Volume Up and Down button does not do anything.
Tried several times to flash original back-up files on two desktop with different SP-Flash-Tool versions (download, Format&Download, selected files, etc), but no success. I get S_BROM_DOWNLOAD_DA_FAIL (2004) error.
I can still download HUAWEI Y330-U01 rom again without the preloader via SP Flash Tool. However, can't download preloader or format it though as it complains S_SECURITY_SF_CODE_DOWNLOAD FORBIDDEN.
I think both errors relate to preloader (assuming Bootloader the same thing) being locked (not sure).
Any advice would be much appreciated

After searching all the internet and trying this and that just could not get it working.
Just about to give up - saw a strange folder on the HUAWEI firmware and after bit of trial and error – managed to restore ZTE preloader.
Phone is working now

SP Flash tool - Completely Dead Phone (UMI X2)

Hi, I was trying to use Flash tool and Don't know what happend but My Phone is completely DEAD right now even power button is also not working no screen is there (just blank phone).
I am having UMI X2 2GB rom, 32 gb internal memory, 1.5 GHZ (MT6589T) Model.
I tried to use SP Flash tool to recover my phone. Firstly I tried to format the phone, After that I tried to run the correct scatter file for MT6589 (from one of the ROM Posted under UMI-X2).
Drivers for the SP Flash tool is loaded correctly (into my Windows 8 Pc). I was previosly getting error as follow : SP FLASH TOOL ERROR: (8200)
[Platform Error] The load and target are inconsistent!
Now, after searching a lot I found that its something wrong with SP Flash tool version.
So I downloaded SP Flash Tool V3.1304.O.sn119 version. After that I am trying to "Download" the rom (with the correct scatter file for my ROM). but its only showing me RED Bar (with 100%) and after that it does nothing. Its neither showing me any error nor its continuing the process.
I am in serious problem here. Please help me out.
Thanks in advance!

Try this version of :
SP Flash Tool
October Official Rom
USB Drivers (if needed)
Works for me.
Necro thread...
I have the same issue.
A couple of days ago the phone just started turning off / locking up when off, and having great difficulty tuning on... i.e. pulling out the battery for a minute or a few times.
Now the phone won't turn on at all. They only sign of life is the charging animation when you plug it in.
Prior to all this, there appeared a window in Chinese with some options. my GF (who's phone it is) just pressed something, no idea what. But she said something about 'drawing on the screen'??? sound like something locked up and the previous frame wasn't deleted from the frame buffer before redrawing the new one... I have no idea.
Anyway, I tried going into recovery to see if there was anything I could do there, unfortunately everything was in Chinese, so not much help. for some reason now, the recovery isn't even working.
Now I can connect to the phone via SPflash, but I get the above response: '[Platform Error] The load and target are inconsistent!'
Some other ROMs I tried give me this response:
'The load to be downloaded is for MT6589;
The target platform is MT6582_S00'
Which is quite suspicious.
Any ideas?
Thanks

[Q] P780 bricked after flashing (wrong) ROM - doesn't boot

[SOLVED] Read careful through the thread, and if you have the same problem, check the messages on the second page for a solution
Hi all,
Recently got a Lenovo P780 4gb, Chinese version.
It came with VIBE UI 1.0, installed by the vendor.
Now, I wanted to have a different ROM without the Chinese characters here and there, and reading through the forums, I decided to flash a stock ROW version, and then upgrade to another custom ROM.
So I downloaded the 4Gb P780_S123_ROW_131231 version from elsewhere on the forum.
Using the SP Flash tool, it started flashing, and on the bottom I saw some info saying DRAM 8Gb, which worried me because I thought it might have been the wrong version, but the flash completed, green circle shown.
Then tried to reboot...nothing. Phone wouldn't even turn on.
Plugged it again into PC through USB, and the red light comes on, and instead of the device being recognized as a MT Preloader device, it now connects just as a MediaTek USB Port.
The SP Flash tool still recognizes 'something', but when trying to download or upgrade firmware (with another ROM), then the red progress bar goes to 100% quickly, but then hangs, and I see the error message in the log (timestamps removed):
BROM_DLL[4312][2988]: ERROR: MT6589EMISettingFactory::IsComboDiscreteDram(): Bootloader sub-version (MTK_BLOADER_INFO_SUB_VER_00) is not supported! (FlashToolLib/source/common/generic/src/emi_setting.cpp:557)
BROM_DLL[4312][2988]: ERROR: DummyEMISetting::GetDramEMISetting(): Unsupported! (FlashToolLib/source/common/generic/src/emi_setting.cpp:610)

BROM_DLL[4312][2988]: com_sentry::Close(\\.\COM6, 0000284C): OK! (FlashToolLib/host/windows/com_sentry.cpp:650)
Now, the above error is supposedly caused by using an incorrect ROM. But what would be a correct one ? I assume chinese but what version or it doesn't matter ?
I also downloaded the P780_S135_130917_rooted_twrp_gapps but when opening the scatter file, I see an entry UBOOT that is not available in the ROM, and I cannot download it(above error) or upgrade (UBOOT missing).
Any tips or do I now have a fancy paperweight ?

Hi. This phones are a little tricky to reflash after is softbriked. Just in case try to reflash with Life 0.7 for 4GB Firmware.
Here is the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/development/life-rom-lenovo-p780-t2666626
Here is a litle HOW TO in case of softbriked Lenovo P780:
Step by step you wil do this:
>>>>> USE WINDOWS 7 FOR THIS TUTORIAL <<<<<<<<<<<
>>>>>>>>>>REMOVE THE USB CALBLE FROM PHONE! <<<<<<<<<<<<<
NOW:
- Unpack FlashTools, and Click on Flash_tool.exe
- Select a the MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt in ROM from target_bin folder
- Wait file to be added into Flash Tool
- choose Option->USB Model,click USB Model SKIP THIS STEP IFF SELECTED
–> Choose Option->DA DownLoad All->Speed->High Speed, click High Speed
- Turn off your phone - skip this step if is allready powered off
- "Press F9 (hit Download button)" OR " if upgrade ROM Firmware->Upgrade "
- and ONLY NOW connect your phone into the computer via USB data cable.
- The process will start and a red progress bar will appear after color purple, yellow.
- And green circles display
- Finish !
- You can now safely disconnect your phone and turn it on!
After this tell me iff something goes wrong !
OR
Tell me if your phone is from 04.2014 production.
If it is you must remove the checkbox of the preloader when you flash your custom ROM.
Also highly recommended before manipulation of the phone to do a full backup and backup of NVRAM.
Hi,
Well I flashed the initial ROM with everything checked, so don't know if that can be undone?
I tried flashing the life version you linked to, and tried some other stock roms (like P780_S125_130529,P780_S129_130710), but it's all the time the same.
I start the tool, then unplug phone, press reset button, then click download or upgrade firmware.
In the status bar of the tool, I see a speed in bps, EMMC, COM5 (as long as phone not plugged in, this is USB).
Other ROMS froze the timer in this status bar straight away, it remained 0:00 sec, but with the Life ROM, it keeps counting.
But in the end, it always ends with the same error.
I've attached the log, which includes multiple tries (with PRELOADER unchecked, then again with PRELOADER and PRELOAD unchecked, then with all checked, update and download).
Can't I do something like format it all, then do a fresh install ? Guess it's not that simple
I used the flashtool included, and SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1332.0.187, no difference.
Don't see production date, only see sticker with 02-5707-131911 Lenovo P780 and a number. CMIT ID : 2013CP5888 on the battery itself there is a number 140315
Thanks already for your help and tips.

Nope, Just the numbers from previous post, IMEI, SN, and some other number, but nothing like 04.2014.
The original ROM (when received), was VIBEROM_V1.0_1415_2_ST_P780_OLK_W_A291.
Only found this rom as CWM recovery flashable, not SP Flash.
But at this point, it seems hopeless

Wow thanks The closest version I found on needrom is VIBEROM_V1.0_1415_DEV_P780_OLK_W_A291 but I don't know what format it is, it's still downloading.
And then again, I got it with this VIBEROM already flashed on it, and going into the settings and even built in diagnostics menu (when I could still get there) I don't recall seeing any version numbers even closely related to the numbers I find on the stock roms.
From the official VIBEUI site, it's the wrong format. The software version said something with name lenovohome.net, but I gave up on that, Chinese is beyond my knowledge and Google translate doesn't quite get it
Further, read some people advise just try to dowload PRELOADER, and others talk about volume- and power while plugging in (META-mode?).
But I guess that is not related to the problem.
As I understand it, PRELOADER and bootloader versions do not work together ?
It's a real pity since I used one of the official stock roms found on this site, and it actually flashed without problems.
PS : I see the option to format, including bootloader. In other roms I find UBOOT image. Is there something in this area that I can try
So... What i found is like this:
Your ex system is not a system that installs with Flash Tools.
Here is something what i found:
First Install
1. Flash rom china P780_S129_130710 with Flash Tools
2. Root rom china with Framaroot
3. Install MobileUncleTools
4. Install P780_CN_CWM-recovery with MobileUncleTools
Second Install From CWM
5. Install VIBEROM_V1.0_1415_2_ST_P780_OLK_W_A291.zip
6. Install GApps_Core_4.2.2.zip
7. Install SuperSU.zip
8. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
9. Reboot

So hold off downloading/uploading any files
I appreciate your help in this matter, although the outlook of things is not so good right now.

Update : so no, same error.
Since nothing to loose at this point, decided to try SP Flash format (EXCEPT bootloader), and I spotted these lines in the log :

Given the rom I use comes from a Russian forum, and I see Russian characters, it might be from the image, but maybe something relevant.
Would it help or make it worse to format everything including bootloader, then just flash ...well...something ?

Hi, in another thread, where you were also active, a user mentions P780_136_140306.
Do you know where I can get that ROM ? It would be the only ROM I didn't try yet
Thanks!

Problem SOLVED !
Hi,
The phone is back to life!
So, here is what I did: thanks to user stympy, who gave some valuable advise, and was actually on the right track.
The phones with a production date starting from 03.2014 have an updated PRELOADER. If you try to use flashing the PRELOADER of any other rom here on these phones, you'll end up like me.
The production date, I think, is printed on the battery (if you have a Chinese model at least).
YOU CANNOT FLASH A PRELOADER OF THE ROMS ON THE FORUM ON PHONES WITH A PRODUCTION DATE 03.2014 OR LATER (at this moment)
So, I found on a Russian forum (sorry XDA but for Lenovo there is a lot more to find on 4PDA than here), a backup of the correct,new preloader.
- I took the P780_S129_130710 ROM, and replaced the preloader.bin with the one in this rom.
- Next, deleted the checksum.ini file in the rom to avoid errors
- Open SPFT, selected the ROM, made sure PRELOADER entry was pointing to the correct preloader.bin
- USB disconnected, I clicked Download with DA DL All with checksum activated
- Plugged in USB
- Flashed without issue, disconnected, and voila, boot!!!
Well, that gave me a Chinese interface, but some screenshot tutorials enabled me to switch it to English.
I luckily took a backup with MobileUncleTools of my IMEI, since that was gone.
Phone seems to work normal, with 2 SIM cards, but a lot of Chinese bloatware.
While I was at it in SPFT, I tried to flash pre-rooted, or ROW versions, but that was unsuccessful so far. Always the good old 4032 error, although I updated the preloader, or some other failures.
However, the problem I'm trying to fight now, is the recovery mode. Can't backup (and not going to try flash ROM through recovery), since I can't mount /data, /emmc, and other crucial partitions. I'm using CWM. My goal is to flash the SLX ROM or any other rom with less bloatware, in English, and stable.
Update : Flashed :
- P780_S135_130917_rooted_twrp_gapps + modified preloader and works fine: had to manually link the UBOOT to the LK file (SPFT did not do it by itself)
- VIBEUI_V1.5_1419_5_DEV_P780_rooted_twrp_gapps + modified preloader and works fine : same problem with UBOOT
- Some other (Chinese) versions. ALWAYS put in the preloader file I attached, and everything went smooth and OK
Decided to not use CWM anymore, it's buggy. I use the built in TWRP recovery, and that works like a charm. No issues whatsoever.
Decided to keep VIBEUI_V1.5_1419_5_DEV_P780_rooted_twrp_gapps, but my preferred one until now was just the old stock version.
Simple and good
I've attached the preloader.bin I used (use at your own risk!), I guess it might come in handy for all of you with the same problem
Note that this particular preloader worked for me on a Chinese model 4Gb, production date 15/03/2014
And thanks again to Stympy for all the help!

While I was at it in SPFT, I tried to flash pre-rooted, or ROW versions, but that was unsuccessful so far. Always the good old 4032 error, although I updated the preloader, or some other failures.
However, the problem I'm trying to fight now, is the recovery mode. Can't backup (and not going to try flash ROM through recovery), since I can't mount /data, /emmc, and other crucial partitions. I'm using CWM. My goal is to flash the SLX ROM or any other rom with less bloatware, in English, and stable.
I've attached the preloader.bin I used (use at your own risk!), I guess it might come in handy for all of you with the same problem
And thanks again to Stympy for all the help!

The same problem, but...
Hi, I have the same problem - chinese P780 4GB, brand new, 04-2014.
After flashing wrong (as i know it now, but not 2 hours ago) ROM P780_S135_130917_rooted_twrp_gapps my brand new P780 don't want to turn on and seems to be bricked. :crying:
During flashing everything was ok - no errors, mistakes, or something something else wrong. Flashing finished with green circle. I've read carefully all the posts in this thread but I can not repeat your solution cause now Flash Tool can't connect to device. When USB cable is plugged into the phone red light turn on, but my computer didn't see any new devices - no "MTK USB port", or "Android device" or even "unknown device".
Any suggestions?

PROBLEM SOLVED / Thx casaben
Hello,
today i tried to flash my P780. The Build-Number of my phone was P780_S136_140306.
I flashed ROM P780_S135_130917_rooted_twrp_gapps with Smart Phone Tools and after that my phone was dead.
I flashed this ROM because i want to flash the ROM AOSP-4.4.2-v.1.8 after that.
Thx stympy for your tutorial to bring back my phone back to life!
I don´t know if my phone is chinese or not. There is no date on the battery, only chinese letters.
I need help to flash ROM AOSP-4.4.2-v.1.8.
Thx

Lenovo S820 MTK6589 bricked

Hello, I bought a lenovo s820 from aliexpress (im from romania) and i noticed after a few mins of use that 3G data won't work. Our carriers have wcdma 900/2100 and the phone specifies that it supports wcdma2100. I thought maybe the CN version (china) won't work so I found a tutorial how to flash the ROW version (rest of world). It succesfuly flashed and now my phone won't turn on. Device manager detects it as MTK USB Port but nothing. When I try to flash other firmwares of recoveries with SP Flash tool I get the get dram error.
Is there anything left to do or did I ruin this phone? I find it weird that it's still detected by PC so I hope there's still a chance.
Please help, otherwise I'm seriously screwed.
NEW UPDATE: i found a random mt6589 preloader, and i remembered i have my scatter file from when the phone worked (if only i had backuped the whole phone...) so after i select the original scatter and that random preloader i've got from the internet, the phone starts but only shows this: tool dl image fail and uboot is blocking by dl info

it because when you flash ROM using sp flash tool, you don't tick DA DL ALL with Checksum option on the right upper. that why you got that error. try re flash but don't forget to tick the option

I've flashed my Lenovo S820 CN 4g version with S820_ROW_S108_130603 firmware, using SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1316.0.150 on an Windows XP 32-bit machine, using a universal "hama" USB cable and i was stucked on a boot loop and got the same message like above. Then i've used same ROM, same tool on a Windows 7 machine and the genuine Lenovo USB cable and worked like a charm.
For those who get this message:
1) Don't use SP Flash Tool v3.xxx on Windows XP 32-bit.
2) Use the genuine Lenovo USB cable (the cable that came with your phone).
P.S. Sorry for my bad english! Take care!

Hi,
I have recently bricked my AC70HELLO and tried uncessefully to flash stock firmware (from firmwarefile.com/archos-hello-7 ) but always got STATUS_DA_HASH_MISMATCH (with SP Flash Tools V5.1924 and V5.2020) or STATUS_BROM_CMD_SEND_DA_FAIL (with SP Flash Tools V5.1744) errors (with MTK_AllInOne_DA or DA_PL defaults DA).
Could you please share the Download Agent and the stock firmware from Archos ?
I have asked Archos for it in vain, they respond me "Sorry we don't have any FW available for this device. Thanks for your understanding," which got me a bit mad... I mean if my device's constructor doesn't have its stock firmware then who does ?
Here's the "latest" fimware from Archos http://update.archos.com/AFMv2/downloads/ac70hello_archos/20181101.075911/update.zip
Does anybody happen to have a reliable guides and reliable downloads to flash other firmwares to this Hello 7?
I tried several guides but somehow they are inconsistent, incomplete or simply not working. Some say I need TWRP without a link to a working image, others say I could use fastboot which generates "not allowed in locked state". I found out myself that I could work around that error by running "fastboot oem unlock" but after flashing, my Hello keeps hanging in a boot loop. (also after "fastboot oem lock")
Fortunately with @fraenK 's link, I could revert back to stock.
I have been using the Pixel Experience 10 GSI ROM from Expressluke so far. Other GSI ROMs should work as well. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/gsi-expressluke-built-gsis.4003457/

Thanks but this is unusable without a working recovery wich I don't have since I'm bricked (corrupted logo.img so crash before booting in anything) would you know where I could find the download agent to use with sp flash tools ?

Hello,
If I can help you, I create a zip file with Driver, Firmware and the compatible SP_Flash for this firmware.
I flashed my Hello with success and I don't sure of all step, cause many test before sucess.
Just put WIN10 in "Test Mode" can help

Hi everyone,
I bricked my Archos Hello 7 by trying to flash TWRP.
I'm looking to flash my device but it's hard to find informations for this device and nothing works for me.
I tried with SP Flash tool V5.1744 and few drivers versions without results.
I always have STATUS_DA_HASH_MISMATCH or BROM_CMD_SEND_DA_FAIL.
Every time I plug my device, the detected USB is the "Mediatek PreLoader USB VCom", do you think it's the good driver ?
@buzz-27 can you (or someone else) upload your file again, the link on Free is dead.
@Dawnowl444 did you solve your flashing problem ?
Thanks guys.

Hi,
My AC70HELLO is still bricked unfortunately. I've got a corrupted logo.bin and no way to flash stock rom except with SP Flash Tool. But I can't get passed STATUS_DA_HASH_MISMATCH error.
I tried this utility without much success...
GitHub - MTK-bypass/bypass_utility
Contribute to MTK-bypass/bypass_utility development by creating an account on GitHub.
github.com
It's now easy to bypass MediaTek's SP Flash Tool authentication
A group of developers has created a Python utility to bypass the authentication routine of MediaTek SP Flash Tool. Check it out now!
www.xda-developers.com
With --force I still get STATUS_DA_HASH_MISMATCH and the utility says "Device secure boot: False ; Device serial link authorization: False ; Device download agent authorization: False" wich is weird...
Let me know if you got any more luck with that than me.
If your AC70HELLO is'nt really bricked you can try to flash back stock recovery via fastboot.
Hi Dawnowl444,
Thanks for your tips, I gonna try with bypass_utility but without hope .
Maybe we need to do some hardware tweak to allow to flash the device.
There is here a French tutorial to disassemble the Hello 7. http://rnc.free.fr/hello7/hello7.html
In the firmware I found online, the file Checksum.ini refers to the version 1708 of SP Flash Tool, I tried with itn but without success, maybe it can be successful for you.
Unfortunately, I can't boot into recovery mode, that's why I try to flash with the Flash Tool.
If I succeeded to flash my device I will let you known.

Ok thanks. By mistake I'm flashed the Hello 10 ROM in my Hello 7, and now it restarting continuously. I can enter in fastboot but I cannot flash the ROM - error: FAILED (Remote: not allowed in locket state) Do you know another way to flash the correct firmware? I can not enter in recovery mode.

Issue with Alcatel mobile upgrade S tool

Hi everyone. As I said on a former post, I have an Alcatel 1t 7 tablet; I need its stock recovery image, but even stock firmware is getting impossible to find. I mean, apparently there are firmware for that reference of tablet, but what happens, is that there are several models that share the same physical appearance, but have different hardware, so, they have different firmware, and by that reason, their firmware don't work for my tablet. Anyway...
The fact is, looking that its original firmware is not available on the internet, at least publicly; I'm trying to reflash my tablet by using alcatel's tool called "Alcatel Mobile Upgrade", a tool that I don't guess, would be unknown for many of you. So as I said, I'm trying to reflash it with it (and in the process, restore stock recovery, I hope). So I installed MTK drivers, installed the version recommended for this tablet, followed program's instructions, but when I reach step 2 of 4, the program warns me saying this: "Read terminal information failed. Unplug device, remove the device battery and plug it again - Repeat step 2 and try again".
The issue is, that its battery is internal, not removable; even, is soldered to the board. And I must add, that at first, when I bought this tablet and began to "experiment" with it, I was using SP flash tool, and it was giving me almost the same warning that Alcatel mobile upgrade, but later I discovered what that was a fail of the used sp flash tool version. On a webpage, someone recommended a specific version of sp flash tool to fix that issue; I mean, that I could download firmware to the device without having to "unplug battery"; and It worked.
So first ¿How can upgrade my tablet by using that program?¿What am I doing wrong?¿ Which device must appear under device manager, to it can work?¿mtk usb port, Mediatek DA usb VCOM, Android preloader, or which one? And second, ¿Could be this problem, due to alcatel's mobile upgrade version?
let battery drain to make sure device is powered off. you only have preloader mode for a second - within this time pick up in device manager and install preloader drivers.
if drivers installed correctly, first start flashing, then connect phone. flash tool will keep device in preloader mode for the flashing time period

Thank you for replying. Definitely using Alcatel mobile upgrade is not an option, at least to me. I mean, I couldn't make it work in any way. "Fortunately", after an exhaustive search, I could find a post on internet, that recommended for a similar issue, to use Sugar MTK; the publisher shared this program and its credentials, for can use it . So I downloaded and used it, and I could restore my original stock. Now my issue is to port it to TWRP, but now I'm gonna to write a new post about it.
link me to the sugarmtk
